Can nuclear weapons be un-invented?

Patters

Well, the nuclear strike on Japan was one of the most disgraceful acts of reckless violence in world history, and an apology is certainly warranted. That said, compared with the reign of Bush, the world has been a much calmer place. North Korea and Iran, by and large, are doing a lot less sabre rattling than they were, and even Iran overall has been fairly calm, today notwithstanding. Obama has done a good job helping calm things down, but of course that has not been good for the economy. Perhaps with Iran's transgression today, Obama will think of mobilizing the military.

Iran says could deploy navy near U.S. coast: report - World news - Mideast/N. Africa - Iran - msnbc.com

Don't worry, they'll have a nuke soon, which ought to really help with "stability" in the M.E.

I got curious about the cable, since Investors.com is another one of those sleazy dishonest right wing rags. Upon further investigation, I learned that there is no evidence that Obama offered to apologize.

Japanese Government Nixed Idea of Obama Visiting, Apologizing for, Hiroshima* - ABC News

In September 2009, US Ambassador to Japan John Roos reported to the Obama administration that the Japanese government did not think it was a good idea for President Obama to visit Hiroshima to apologize for the US having dropped an atomic bomb on that city, a secret cable published by Wikileaks revealed.

...

A senior White House official asserts to ABC News that there was never any plan for the president to apologize for Hiroshima. The cable does not state that the idea was from the U.S. Rather, Roos writes that Yabunaka thought that following President Obama’s call earlier that year for a world free of nuclear weapons, anti-nuclear groups would speculate as to whether he would visit Hiroshima.

There is that danger, but so far it's been kept in check by supposedly Israeli assassins with some American help.

If Hitler or Tojo got their hands on an Atomic Bomb (it was coming) what do you people think they would have done, they had already started WWII, engaged in the Savage Holocaust attacked America and would have slaughtered your parents and all the rest of your relatives if we had acted like a country of simpering coward liberals, THEY WANTED AMERICA DEAD.

Todays Liberal Wants Us To Apologize For Winning A War We Didn't Start.

God Damn Bull*****
Yesterdays Japan Can Kiss My American Ass they were ruthless dirty savages who bayonetted little children and they killed themselves in order to kill us.

They Started It We Finsihed It

The thing that really gets under the liberals skin today is "WE WON"

I disagree. We were in a war -- a war that had cost millions of fatalities and easily could have involved millions more. If you want to argue that the nuclear strikes were unnecessary, you can reasonably do so, but there's a reasonable argument on the other side as well. But I don't think there's any argument supporting the claim that they were disgraceful and reckless.


Certainly warranted? Again, I disagree.

However, the idea that an apology would be disgusting or however the harrys of the world want to describe it isn't necessarily the case, either. It would depend on the content of the apology, imo.

I know people like harry don't understand apologies, but that's probably rooted in insecurity. We could certainly apologize to the families of those who were killed for our necessary actions and explain why they were necessary. There would be nothing disgusting about it -- on the contrary, it's how adults handle themselves.
